Seconds Away
04:09
|
|||
|
i traced each mistake
from a day in july
when the band couldn't play
but the flowers arrived
then my mind caught a day
changed the rules of the game
if i drank just enough
i could live in that time yeah
wake and arise
in your weak case for life
got some words in from todd
on when you should arrive
in our struggle to save
the loose grip that remains
on a friendship that wanes
til we both pay the time
that's more than i meant to say
i love my set-piece set place
(chorus)
we'll meet for a drink at hank dietles
to get out of the rain
the ads took me further
before lives were made
and i tried so discreetly
to just learn her name
it's seconds away
so far from that party
still under a spell
and what you'd call abusive
it treats me so well
there's a lie here at stake,
sacrifice to repay
you can't let him go quiet
after what all he gave
and in a roundabout way
they'll all be grateful you came
(chorus)
we'll meet for a drink at hank dietles
to get out of my brain
the ads took me further
before lives were made
and i tried so discreetly
to just learn her name
we ditched on a drink at hank dietles
to go watch airplane
on a lawn in a summer
before lives were made
with the way i've been lately
i wouldn't complain
i just know her name
it's seconds away

Windows Down Day
03:53
|
|||
|
forgiving yourself
takes hours of training for you
going downstairs
and no one noticed you left the room
cos there's a young man's sorrow
and then there's this version of you
why am i so down
hearing all of their moves
(chorus)
and it's a windows down day
and i can't see the good in you
and you begged me to stay
but it's only cos the rest of you's blue
i'm singing for my supper
in the strangest dream
i lost all my money
on this narcisist's scheme
when there's talk of something better
i hope you're not away
forgiving myself
takes hours of framing for you
convinced it's all in
you can't see how i should leave the room
cos there's a young man's burden
since he stopped his burning for you
of course it brings you down
hearing all of our moves
(chorus)
and it's a windows down day
and i can't see the good in you
and you begged me to stay
but it's only cos the rest of you's blue
i'm singing for my supper
in the strangest dream
i lost all my money
on this narcisist's scheme
when there's talk of something better
i hope you're not away
i hope you're not away
(interlude)
(chorus)
and it's a windows down day
and i can't see the good in you
and you have begged me to stay
but it's only cos the rest of you's bruised
i'm waiting on the summer
in the strangest dream
i lost all my money
don't you ask where i've been
when there's talk of someone better
don't you beg me to stay

Mr. Go Getter
03:40
|
|||
|
someone put their hands on me
show me where i ought to be
life was so much simpler then
getting high with all my friends
now i see the wall's come down
lost my youth and hit the ground
can't stand on what i believed
no exceptions no more reprieves
(prechorus)
have i got it wrong?
and it's just a song?
no no no no no no no
(chorus)
hey mr. go getter
go get her
move along
hey mr. go getter
go win her
with your song
and you say
your heart's on fire
but i know
you will burn brighter
we'll move along
finally scared enough to see
someone's got to rescue me
once i was set to go alone
to need no one all on my own
for what it's worth it's killing me
to wear this guilt fall to my knees
between myself and all my friends
see no one's wearing their regrets
(prechorus)
could one more song
maybe save us all?
they say no no no no no
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)

Hungry For You
04:00
|

|
so i say
i got a car for you
so you say
we don't have to see this through
and i think
we can dance this through
and you think
there's something else to lose
(chorus)
and we danced
all night
and we danced
just fine
but this moment
this moment
this moment's dependent on you
and i hear them
i hear them
i hear them they're calling for you
they're hungry for you
and i sing
and play
they say i'm going about it the wrong way
so today
i put you to a tune
and today
you asked me why it's you
there's a world
where we never lose
there's a world
in which we never move
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)
+
and i sing
and play
they say i'm going about it the wrong way

These Days
04:18
|

these days
you tend to sit alone and wonder
if these days
do they mean anything at all
you got a girl
you got a world but can't be certain
if these walls
do they mean anything at all
so drink to tune them out the voices
the night will come relieve your soul
(chorus)
these days
you tend to sit alone and wonder
these days
they don't mean anything at all
there was that time
i waited round low new york hoping
waited for you
to hold the only thing i'd known
but now that world
it never seemed so goddamn open
and now this world
it seems like every door's been closed
(prechorus)
so find yourself a job to work now
a girl a place to keep your time
no wait
what was the thing you said before that
before you pieced, you glued together your goodbye
(chorus)
these days
i know you feel it coming undone
these days
you don't feel anything at all
you got a girl
you got a world but feel it slipping
no these walls
never stopped anything at all

Summer in Athens
03:48
|
|||
|
you started laughing
when i used your first name
unsure what was happening
after years spent in shade
but i wasn't acting
saw your smile fade away
wondered which adaption
from my head out would play
(prechorus)
try to remember
that i don't matter
the world's seconds away
(chorus)
but that was the last time
and that was a lifetime away
that you'd fallen outright
that you couldn't will how this would play
after the party
you picked through my every phrase
i set it into action
you shrunk ten steps away
later you'd done the math and
said what all you could leave
have we just been acting
devoid of chemistry
(prechorus)
you never remember
that no one matters
no still they hold your brain
(chorus)
but that was the last time
and that was a lifetime away
that you'd fallen outright
that you couldn't will how this would play
spent the summer in athens
tried to wash the sounds away
but that was the last one
that you won't see all the way
(bridge)
and if i go then go
you used to see the desperation come
in the face of those who played the game
we laughed and said from high above
that it's not our game
they won't see our names
oh god that concert's weeks away
well maybe by then you'll have stopped
calling it our place
(chorus)
but that was the last time
and that was a lifetime away
that you'd fallen outright
that you couldn't will how this would play
spent the summer in athens
could you be the one for me
and that was the last one
that we won't see all the way

A Kid at Sunset
03:51
|
|||
|
give me the west coast
and i'll do what i can
to make you notice
there was always a plan
sure it's a slow start
and there'll be some regrets
but when it's over
i'll move out of my head
i said just
give me this girl and
i'll do the rest but
i'm can't from everyone else's pocket
as time goes i'm growing terrified that
she's not the answer to anything while
those i knew
move out of focus
(chorus)
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid in the california sunset
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid and nobody else here noticed
give me your problems
something i wouldn't understand
to weak to solve them
but you tell me the same
so i would notice
how i can't change a thing
no i don't mention
how far this falls from my plans
forget it
we walk a very fine line of
something that's unattractive to speak of
we're here
but can't make the best of it now
what scares me more than anything else is
all the love's been
all for nothing
(chorus)
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid in the california sunset
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid and nobody else here noticed
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid in the california sunset
you turned in
you turned in
you turned into a kid and you got away with murder
(solo)
(coda)
turn down the radio
low
their words are killing us
slow
convinced lured us to this
coast
<but> not before we burned our
homes
now i need to hear you out
loud
there's time to turn this
around
go back to where it
began
and laugh at all this from
the end

A Plan
03:25
|
|||
|
there's a plan
that'll take you from my hand
that you won't understand
that takes me across the land
i will need you
but i'll stand
all we need's a plan
(chorus)
and the days
i'll leave behind
i'll sort and tag
and you'll bloom and die
and fertilize my land
it's just a plan
there's a plan
that'll see us driving west
that'll see us fight and mend
and i can't find a better friend
(chorus)
and the days i'll leave behind
will dance in sand
set highs within my mind
you'll never catch
and i'll leave
while never letting go your hand
and we'll cry ourselves to sleep
each night in our heads
it's just a plan

Last Life
06:57
|
|||
|
i chose you one summer
you laughed til i missed the mark
but i swore you would notice
the absense of a spark
with the cute but brainless quota boys
and their existential smoke of choice
it wasn't here
you'd have to fear
i'm gonna leave with someone
i thought loud enough to hear
even if it would kill me
i'd drink enough to steer
to the beds of sympathetic loins
that i rent with hopes all paid by coins
i never owned
they'll never know
the world just kept us cold
(chorus)
go on give me one more life
i tried my hand at suicide
enough to know i need more time
if you take me
give it all you got
i know that smile that says i'm wrong
enough to know you missed the plot
cos i need more time
to do the wrong things
and i need more time
to stay where i am
and i need more
time to realize that time is changing everything
and blame myself
i'll blame myself
(chorus)
(bridge)
time enough to drink more poison
time enough to be more broken
your ears
far from your ears
time enough to rise and burn down
to find and lose the strength and find out
it's clear
no one hears
(chorus)
go on give me one more life
i tried my hand at suicide
enough to know i need more time
if you take me
give it all you got
i know that smile that says "go on"
enough to know you missed the plot
+
time enough to drink more poison
time enough to be more broken
your ears
far from your ears
time enough to rise and burn down
to find and lose the strength and find out
it's clear
no, no one hears

|
speak to me in senses
only come to me in dreams
give me their poor excuse for poetry
find new depths applied to me
yeah drop the pretense give me flaws
give me all you think's above
and stutter through an army pounding
that you're not sure that it can work
but i'm not worried about that
we will carry on
no i'm not worried about that
my faith's in a song
(chorus)
give me my friends
give me this voice that's always failed me
give me fingers until they bleed
on this wood and steel and nickel
and still swear it's all you need
give me faith that's in the face
of everything you know that's wrong
give me three minutes reprieve
as we dive headfirst into a song
(chorus)
